Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy in treatment of advanced esophageal carcinoma.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 84 patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical University from June 2020 to May 2022 were selected, and all patients were divided into the observation group and the control group according to the different treatment methods, 42 cases in each group. The control group was given albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with cisplatin chemotherapy, and the observation group was given camrelizumab based on the control group. The clinical efficacy, survival, tumor markers levels, T lymphocyte subsets levels, quality of life and adverse reactions were compared in both groups.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, clinical stage and tumor site between the 2 groups (all P > 0.05). There were 9 cases of partial remission (PR), 15 cases of stable disease (SD) and 18 cases of progression of the disease (PD) in the control group; and 15 cases of PR, 18 cases of SD, 9 cases of PD in the observation group. There was no statistically significant difference in objective remission rate between the control group and observation group [21.4% (9/42) vs. 35.7% (15/42), χ2 = 2.10, P = 0.147]. The disease control rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [78.6% (33/42) vs. 57.1% (24/42)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.42, P = 0.035). The median overall survival time was 12 months (95% CI: 10.7-13.3 months) and 9 months (95% CI: 7.6-10.4 months), respectively in the observation group and the control group, and the difference in overall survival was statistically significant ( χ2 = 9.45, P = 0.002). The levels of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) in both groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment, and the levels of these tumor markers in the observation group [CA125: (54±6) IU/ml, CEA: (9.2±1.1) μg/L, SCC: (0.72±0.19) μg/L] were lower than those in the control group [CA125: (61±7) IU/ml, CEA: (11.3±1.5) μg/L, SCC: (1.26±0.30) μg/L] (all P < 0.001). After treatment, the T lymphocyte proportions of CD3 +, CD4 + and the level of CD4 +/CD8 + in the observation group were higher than those before treatment; and T lymphocyte proportions of CD3 +, CD4 + and the level of CD4 +/CD8 + in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). The scores of quality of life scale in both groups after treatment were higher than those before treatment (all P < 0.001), and the score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [(64±5) points vs. (60±4) points], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 4.05, P < 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of gastrointestinal reactions, liver dysfunction and rash between the 2 groups (all P > 0.05). The incidence of cutaneouscapillary endothelial proliferation in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [14.29% (6/42) vs. 0 (0/42) ], and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.026). Conclusions:Camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy can improve the disease condition, prolong the survival time, improve the quality of life and regulate the disorder of T lymphocytes in patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma, and its safety is controllable.

Objective:This study aimed to analyze cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and its influencing factors in patients with B-lymphocyte malignancy who received chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy.Methods:This study retrospectively reviewed patients with B-lymphocyte malignancy who received CAR-T cell therapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2021 to December 2023. The data of patients who underwent CMV-DNA detection and/or pathogen metagenomic sequencing twice or more within 100 days after CAR-T cell therapy were analyzed. The clinical characteristics of the CMV reactivation and non-activation groups were compared. The factors related to CMV reactivation were analyzed with the Chi-square test and nonparametric rank sum test, and the risk factors were examined with Logistic regression.Results:This study included 86 patients, among whom 18 (20.9%) had CMV reactivation, and the median time of reactivation was 20 (1-95) days. All of the 18 patients had CMV viremia, and no CMV disease was observed. Seven patients turned to the latent state after continuing acyclovir antiviral therapy, and 11 patients returned to the latent state after upgrading the antiviral therapy to first-line drugs, including ganciclovir and foscarnet sodium. Six or more courses of anti-tumor treatment before CAR-T cell therapy, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within 2 years before CAR-T cell therapy, non-remission before treatment, and the use of high-dose glucocorticoids and/or tocilizumab were related to CMV reactivation, among which allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within 2 years pre-treatment and the use of high-dose glucocorticoids and/or tocilizumab treatment were independent risk factors for CMV reactivation.Conclusion:Patients with B-lymphocyte malignancy who received CAR-T cell therapy have the risk of CMV reactivation, especially for those who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within 2 years pre-treatment and those who received high-dose glucocorticoids and/or tocilizumab treatment.

Objective:To evaluate a novel distraction reductor in the surgical treatment of unstable distal radius fractures with metaphyseal volar comminution.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, 27 patients with unstable distal radius fracture complicated with metaphyseal volar comminution were treated at Department of Orthopaedics, Zhoupu Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences. They were 6 males and 21 females, with an age of (69.4±9.4) years. All fractures were unilateral and closed, involving the right side in 17 cases and the left side in 10 cases. All patients were treated by internal fixation with an anatomical locking plate through the volar approach and the novel distraction reductor was used to reduce the fracture ends. Regular imaging examinations were performed to evaluate the reduction, maintenance and union of fractures after surgery. One year after operation, the curative efficacy was assessed by evaluation of the range of wrist motion, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score, Gartland-Werley score and Bartra radiology score.Results:All the operations went on successfully with a duration of (92.3±8.9) min. All the incisions healed primarily. The follow-up time was (15.9±2.9) months. The radial height, palmar tilt, ulnar inclination and articular surface step-off immediately after operation [(11.23±1.51) mm, 12.10°±3.44°, 20.54°±3.44°, and (0.95±0.42) mm] were not significantly lost compared with those one year after operation [(11.22±1.55) mm, 12.07°±3.44°, 20.51°±3.33°, and (0.93±0.40) mm] (all P>0.05). One year after operation, the range of wrist motion was good with dorsiflexion of 59.7°±5.5°, palm flexion of 63.0°±9.1°, pronation of 66.5°±5.5°, supination of 61.2°±5.6°, radial deviation of 22.7°±4.8°, and ulnar deviation of 30.3°±6.1°; DASH score was 13.5±5.5; Bartra radiology score was 88.6±6.5, giving an excellent and good rate of 88.9% (24/27);Gartland-Werley score was 2.7±2.1, giving an excellent and good rate of 92.6% (25/27). Follow-ups observed no poor fracture healing, internal fixation failure, tendon or nerve injury or traumatic arthritis. Conclusion:In the surgical treatment of unstable distal radius fractures with metaphyseal volar comminution, the novel distraction reductor can lead to ideal reduction of displaced fractures and effectively correct the shortening caused by volar cortex comminution to achieve satisfactory functional effects in clinic.

Objective:To analyze the trend of liver cancer morbidity and mortality among residents with household registration in certain District, 2017 to 2019.Methods:The crude morbidity and mortality rate of males and females in the whole population were calculated by using the relevant data from the certain District Cancer Registry and Report System and the Cause of Death Surveillance System. The standardized morbidity and mortality rate were calculated according to the age structure of 2000 National Demographic Census and Segi's world population, respectively. Trend in liver cancer morbidity and mortality were evaluated using percent change (PC), annual percentage change, and case-number-weighted annual percent change. Age-specific rates were used to analyze the epidemic trend of liver cancer with age.Results:The crude morbidity rate of liver cancer in the whole population (male and female) of the certain district from 2017 to 2019 were 18.86/100 000, 26.05/100 000 and 11.90/100 000 respectively, and the crude mortality rates were 21.20/100 000, 29.29/100 000 and 13.38/100 000 respectively. The crude morbidity and mortality rate of liver cancer among male showed a downward trend (PC=-16.77% and -20.15% respectively). The crude morbidity and mortality rate of liver cancer among female showed inconsistent changes; however, the crude morbidity rate showed a downward trend, and the crude mortality rate first increased and then decreased (PC=-19.42% and -0.30% respectively). Liver cancer morbidity and mortality rate in male after the age of 30 were increased with age. The two key points of accelerated growth were around the age of 65 and 75, and the peak of morbidity (130.78/100 000) and mortality (201.96/100 000) were after the age of 80. The morbidity and mortality rate were significantly lower in female than those of male aged 60; however, after the age of 65, the morbidity rate was increased rapidly and gradually approached as that of male. After the age of 80 (the peak morbidity and mortality were 104.40/100,000 and 132.87/100,000, respectively), male were about twice as high as those female aged between 75 and 79.Conclusion:Morbidity and mortality rate of liver cancer in the certain District showed an overall downward trend from 2017 to 2019, but it increased with age, and the disease burden was relatively high among the elderly population. Liver cancer mostly occurred in male, so the prevention and control of liver cancer epidemics in middle-aged and elderly should be actively monitored.

Objective:To assess the safety and effectiveness of amphotericin B cholesteryl sulfate complex for injection in the context of empirical and diagnostic antifungal therapy for patients with hematological malignancies in addition to invasive fungal illness.Methods:This single-arm clinical study enrolled 30 patients who received empirical and diagnostic-driven antifungal therapy for hematological malignancies combined with invasive fungal disease. The primary endpoint was safety. Response rate, fever duration, and treatment completion rate were all considered secondary objectives.Results:30 participants were eventually enrolled in the study, and the treatment completion rate was 80.0% . Most adverse events were in grades 1-2. Infusion response was the most frequent adverse event (24/30, 80% ) . The overall response rate was 80.0% (24/30) . In 24 patients (80.0% ) , the fever persisted for 1 day.Conclusions:Treatment of invasive fungal illness in conjunction with hematological malignancies showed good efficacy and safety with amphotericin B cholesteryl sulfate complex for injection.

Objective:To investigate the clinicpathological features of basal cell type dysplasia of the esophagus.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 71 cases of basal cell type dysplasia of esophagus were collected at the People′s Liberation Army Joint Logistics Support Force 989 Hospital, from 2009 to 2019, and the histomorphologic characteristics and immunophenotype were evaluated. The relevant literature was reviewed.Results:The ratio of male to female patients was 1.6∶1.0, and the median age was 65 years (range 48-81 years). The tumors were located in the upper segment of the esophagus in four cases (5.6%), the middle segment in 54 cases (76.1%), and the lower segment in 13 cases (18.3%).The median maximal tumor diameter was 12.0 mm (range 3-42 mm). According to Paris Classification, 0-Ⅱb accounted for 42.3% (30/71) of the cases. Under endoscope, the lesions were reddish with abnormal mucosal microvessels. Histologically, the neoplastic cells were small, with a high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, similar to basal cells, and uniform in morphology. The structural atypia was characterized by dense and disordered tumor cells, loss of basal cell polarity, and absence of normal squamous differentiation gradient. In 10 cases, the tumors were confined to the lower part of the epithelium. The tumor cells were smaller and more uniform in shape, and extend to the superficial lamina propria. Sixty-one tumors involved at least the entire layer of the upper cortex. There were 31 cases of neoplasms with superficial invasive carcinoma. The types of neoplasms included typical squamous cell carcinoma, basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma with sebaceous adenoid carcinoma, and differentiation of glandular/ductal epithelioid carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the mutant expression rate of p53 protein was 41.5% (17/41). All 41 cases (100.0%) showed abnormal distribution pattern of Ki-67. According to the initial pathologic diagnosis, there were 18 cases of low grade dysplasia, 12 cases of atypical epithelial cells, and 41 cases of high grade dysplasia and superficially invasive carcinoma.Conclusions:Basal cell type dysplasia has unique morphologic characteristics and represents a tumor subtype in the morphologic lineage of esophageal squamous dysplasia. Tumor cells of basal cell type dysplasia, especially those distributed only in the lower part of the stratified squamous epithelium, may be tumor stem cells at the earliest stage of esophageal carcinogenesis and have multidirectional differentiation potential. When the tumor is confined to the lower part of the stratified squamous epithelium, it does not meet the diagnostic criteria for esophageal squamous dysplasia as defined by the current WHO classification.
